Its been a while since i've done anything to my pc besides upgrades to my GPU, power supply, and adding hard drives. Its time to get a new processor and MOBO. Thing is i have payed little to no attention to what may be good for a processor. All i know is i want intel because amd has burned me one too many times for me to ever want to go back to them.
I see the Skylake architecture processors are supposed to be pretty good the i7-6700k in particular, and also the i5-6600k, with those i would have to get a mobo with the Z170 chipset. Asrock has done well for me so far and as far as i know gigabyte is a solid choice as well. Again need to do more research to see whats available to me.
My biggest fear currently though is how well they will work on windows 7, i know that they will be supprted but that doesnt mean its gonna work well. If its the worst case senario i can bite the bullet and upgrade, but still i want to hold out if i can.
